Situation
Situation puzzles (sometimes called lateral thinking puzzles) are ones where you need to ask lots of yes or no questions to figure out what happened in the situation. These are good puzzles for groups where one person knows the puzzle and answers the questions.Situation
The police suspected thieves were hiding stolen goods in a cave and went to investigate. One dirty man was wandering out of the cave when the police stopped him to bring him in for questioning. The man said he was looking for his dog in the cave when he saw a bear. He ran and got lost, but a duck wandered in and quacked. He heard it at first and wasn't sure if it was real. Then the sound echoed, and he knew where it was coming from. So he found the entrance. The police knew that bears and ducks were common, but at one point the man lied. Where?
Answer
A duck's quack does echo, but it usually cannot be heard by human ears. The man, in his scared and lost state, would not have heard it.Hide Answer Show Answer
